Today, Nvidia released its GeForce 416.94 WHQL Game Ready driver, bringing further optimizations and support for a trio of AAA games that have quite close release schedules to each other.
Battlefield V is one of these games. The World War II shooter already received some optimizations in the previous 416.81 driver update from the company, but today"s release brings forth additional performance boosts and the first implementation of DirectX Raytracing. Since the game is yet to receive the update that will enable real-time ray tracing, however, we can"t see the promised RTX eye candy just yet.
The EA first-person shooter has been available to Origin Access subscribers since last week, and Standard Edition owners can jump in on November 20.
Meanwhile, the driver also delivers optimizations and stability improvements for Bethesda"s Fallout 76 and IO Interactive"s Hitman 2. The two games released just a day apart this week.
Probably due to the number of games being optimized, the bug fix list only has a single resolved issue. There are some important known issues to keep in mind though:
